This is a good point - TikTok in China is almost a completely different app. It almost could be considered educational.

I am indifferent towards TikTok, but that is mostly because I don’t use it. I can see why there might be some national security concerns due to the amount of data it collects and due to the CCP having some strings in Bytedance. I think it would be better if this was more a set of regulations for all social media companies, not just a ban.

I do agree the vote probably would have been closer if it were a set of data regulations and privacy laws; Facebook and Google would lobby the shit out of that.
